WHY CHOOSE WESTERN RED CEDAR Western Red Cedar is one of nature’s truly remarkable building materials. In addition to its stunning beauty, distinct aroma, limitless versatility and light environmental footprint, Western Red Cedar has a set of natural characteristics that make it the ideal material for outdoor living projects. Dimensional Stability Western Red Cedar has twice the stability of most commonly available softwoods. The stability is a result of its low density and shrinkage factors.
HERITAGE Western Red Cedar’s popularity dates back thousands of years to the Native Americans who first settled the Pacific Coast region of North America. Its versatility made the trees essential to Native peoples prompting them to revere it as a central part of their life. Western Red Cedar became known to them as the “Tree of Life”. Native craftsmen and artists found uses for each part of the Cedar tree. Craftsmen carved canoes, totem poles, storage boxes and ceremonial masks from the heartwood.
